fall love food

 I love apples!  I love fall! Apple are a great fall food!

One think that I have really enjoyed about living where I do is the fresh fruit.  It is so good!  As you can see from this picture I did not hold back when I went to buy fruit from a fruit stand just down the way.  OHh soo good.  I had aspirations to make something with the apples... but that didn't happen... I ate them all.  :)  lol I did enjoy one with my favorite EXTRA Crunch Jiff Peanut butter sent to me via my mother. :)   Thanks mom. :) 

I have also had the great fortune of enjoying amazing food with amazing friends.  One of my favorite things is to cook, with or for someone.  For this Mexican meal we did both.  (And yes it was as good/better then it looks)

Right now I am faced with the problem of having many left overs.  I have rice, noodles, veggies galore, and other odds and ins. What do I do?  I found this recipe from 101 cookbooks and I may tweek it to make a rice and veggie soup.  We shall see how it turns out. :)  

Ohh! Happy Thanksgiving week to everyone!  Enjoy all you can with your families, and friends.  I hope you can truly treasure the moments and the small things you can spend time doing.

enchanted

right now the wind is rushing
the leaves are begining to realize it`s almost time
the air even seems to be devided between a sweet chill and the heat of summer
i am not devided
i love this

as I stepped down from the stairs and was hit with a gust of wind I was enchanted again
it reminds me of times not so long ago
it reminded me that winter is not to far away

the wind... it chills me to the bone
i have goose bumps
but I love it
i am outside basking and enjoying everything and I never want to move

the sky is looming
shades of gray and white provided shade from the sometimes down right exhausting sun
they tell that the rain will probably soon come

but today I wan to be outside
i love to hear the leaves rush around and roar as though they were traffic in a rush to reach their destination
i love to see the branches sway
moving... just as the wind blows
but their trunk always stays unmoved
firm and steady

the grass... it`s dancing
the deep green hue brought by the summer rain changes slightly as the wind reveals a light, gleaming change to the side we don`t  often see from the little sun that sill shines

it`s a joy
a completion some how
a hope
and now I feel a few drops of rain
i am excited
i know others who will be happy too
it brings peace I think and pray
But right now I have to go get my clothes off the line before they are soaked or blown away.
